MSN Messenger 6 is coming soon...and you can import your own emoticons.

But what if your emoticons are not very good? Can you be bothered to draw your own? Dont worry! The MSN Messenger Emoticon Factory is coming soon!

The Emoticon Factory allows you to create cool emoticons at the SAME QUALITY of the supplied MSN ones. You can select a template - be that a round emoticon, square or triangular - and then using the unique drag and drop interface, pull on accessories; including eyes, ears, arms/legs and a wide variety of mouths and facial expressions.

Most of the accessories are 'cut' from real MSN Messenger emoticons so the quality is excellent!

After your finished and happy with your design, click Finished. Your emoticon will be presented to you in a frame and when you click on SAVE, it is saved in the correct format and size, ready for insertion to MSN Messenger 6

Check out the official website for early screenshots of the program and some emoticons you can make. You will be suprised at the clear, crisp quality (I was )
